Stuttgart City Council members Ruth Ann Trice, Jim Craig and Jonathon Reaves called in absent before Tuesday’s regularly scheduled Council meeting. This made no quorum so no agenda items could be voted on officially.

Stuttgart City Clerk Mitri Greenhill made the call early before the meeting, but the meeting was called to order to make it official.
